    Expect modest bruising and swelling after either a mini or a full facelift, and while your comfort level should increase within a few days after surgery, it can take as long as 10 to 14 days before you want to be seen in public. At that time, any residual bruising can be covered with make up. Good luck. READ MORE

    Pain after the nose job usually only lasts for a couple of days and is usually easily controlled by medication. Swelling, however, can last weeks and even months, but the worst swelling is usually gone within 1 to 2 weeks. Good luck. READ MORE

  • How old do you have to be to have a nose job?

  • Can you wear glasses after an otoplasty?

    Otoplasty does not affect hearing in any way, shape, or fashion. Good luck. READ MORE
